[TR] TR3 Broken Head Stud

[bill_beecher at flash.net]

Dear Miss Susie,

Salvaged one from the spare engine, took a brisk 20 miler this evening, all
is right with the world again...except that my back hurts!  It surprised me
that the broken stud shot up with enough force to put a 1/4" reverse dent in
the bonnet.

One more club run on the agenda for next week, then I can retire to the barn
with my "to do" list for the winter.

Yes, a new set of ARP studs is on my list, along with seals for the diff &
trans.

Say Hi to that crusty old guy that you are living with for me!


All the best,
Bill

Susie wants to know how much you are enjoying playing with the head studs
and how soon you want to do it again.  She recommends all-new studs.
